Answer:

The correct answer is x = w/(2y).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we must get it by itself on the left side of the equation. To do this, we must get rid of the 2 and the y on the left side. Since 2 and y are being multiplied by x, if we divide by 2y, this will cancel out the coefficient on x on the left side of the equation. This is modeled below:

2xy = w

(2xy)/(2y) = w/(2y)

x = w/(2y)

Therefore, the correct answer is x = w/(2y).

Hope this helps!
